Hell, adults can hardly be forced to wear a harmless mask
sambolino448
So, it's going to be THEIR fault!
destinoz
Doing risky shit adults disapprove of defines teenagers. They don’t give AF. Small kids are going to trade masks, share food, and wrestle.
PerfectlyCromulent
At this time, in my province, the plan is basically "pretend that COVID doesn't exist and hope everything works out somehow".
eromitlab
That plan's worked so well for the US...
PerfectlyCromulent
No doubt. 4th grade and above need masks, but otherwise just unspecified "enhanced cleaning procedures". No distancing, class limits, etc.
MasterChristopher
It'll be fine. Just put a sign that says "Heroes learn here" and they'll be okay.
Brightamethyst
Pretty much. There is a 100% chance of second graders licking their hands and chasing each other around yelling "Corona!"
Nuclearun
I feel like that 100% number is wrong. By like three orders of magnitude. Pretty sure it's 100,000% at the very least.
dNa87
well since we have so many grown ups behaving like children, I think the plan is assuming that suddenly the children will behave grown up.

Wish I could +2, 1 for the post and one for the username.
derLauchdesLebens
while some of their parents aren't even able to follow much simpler guidlines.
blackrasputin
Isn’t that just a regular assumption schools make of kids anyway?
APerfectlyNormalPieceOfToast
Nonsense! Everyone knows toddlers are perfectly obedient Automata!
Noroelle
Im so sad our stupid leaders in Germany are doing the same - I think they look to the US for ideas
giitsok
Requires kids to behave better than most adults behave.

If fucking Karens can't do it, what makes you think a 10 year old can?

The Trump virus is going to make education very difficult for a while.
ElPresidente99
As a teacher I fucking agree.
wellembalmed
I feel so lucky to have been raising a 2 year old through this. My prayers with parents of school age children.
Gudhansson
While adults are clustering by the thousands or tens of thousands its crazy to think children would distance. Then again orangeman is crazy
tcSnipe
I think kids are underestimated. They can see theres a problem. It's the parents that need to try harder
tcSnipe
Not saying to send em to school tho.
jimbox114
Too many adults won't put on a mask why should anyone trust their kids to.?
jonastio
We are paying half of the preschool tuition to hold our spot for a bit because I figured other families would develop herd immunity quickly.

I was laughed at at work today for saying I signed my son up for online learning. Good old Missouri.
boredAgain2day
As a teacher, I can guarantee some kid will purposely cough or sneeze at another kid. Just because
eromitlab
As a former student... it's not if, but when and how often. Kids can be real assholes.
JHawke
*looks at the amount of adults who did this*
naytorin
Shit, they'll probably lick each other's eyeballs.
dalefiretoe
It could work... maybe... if we start manufacturing large amounts of duct tape asap
MDWitCommunityMagnet
Every safety plan to reopen the economy has asked adults to act in ways I’ve never seen adults act in.
CheekyNand0s
You don't the in
Mechwarrior719
Oooh. This and OP are spicy cuz they’re true.

I don’t know what you mean, I already wanted to stay the fuck at home

*American adults
Ghostlogicz
Psh that was valid before , now the stupids spreading. China gave us Covid whole America exports stupid and conspiracy theory
ChainmailleAddict
Can you really call them adults?
BYERE
I live in England. Trust me... the stupid exists here too.
Bananasareagovconspiracy
The president’s plan was for everyone to act like jerks. Quite a few people have followed the plan so far.
KansasComrade
Europe did it
BYERE
And half of them STILL don’t act like adults anyway
makeSX
Oh boy. Even if the lock down never included me and we had the capital area separated from the rest of the country (Nordic country) by ->
makeSX
Roadblocks from the police, I've still been driving my van with a full hazmat suit and gasmask with me, a liter of hand sanitiser, full ->
makeSX
Ski-mask that I use with my helmet when going to construction sites etc etc etc. What the hell is the problem with most of the people?

That’s not the problem. Expecting kids to act more responsible than their adult counterparts is absurd. Fuck I hate Republicans.
Ri1988
Over over and I’ll show you the problem, rape culture username.
JoeDuece
having seen "adult" reactions to wearing masks, i think they have a good shot at being more responsible
DeucesMongooses
My thought exactly. How dare we, as adults, try to pass the buck of containing a pandemic to children for the economy or whatever it is
TlalocTemporal
It's what politics has been doing for half a century now, they're just saying it to your face this time.
Sage042000
A friend told me that her cousin sent her child to a small, social distancing playdate with a few other kids. Kid left with a batman mask
Sage042000
/2 and came home with a spiderman mask...they switched masks. They can't open these schools.
PaintedSlate
Getting young children (5+) to wear a mask constantly is doable. Getting them to reliably manage their mask use by context...not so much.
BendOverAndIllShowYa
Yes I’ve seen a bunch of kid’s who have been fine wearing masks b/c their parents are doing it too.
PaintedSlate
That said, if their parents are whiny about it, it'll be a mess. And that's the problem. Not hard to teach. Easy to teach wrong.
fakebecauseidontwantpeopletoknow
I MISS Republicans. The kind I could debate economic theory and international policy with, that don't deny science, or allow kids in cages.
BendOverAndIllShowYa
I used to have wonderfully fun discussions with my uncles about politics. Now they are insane and it’s not fun to talk politics. It’s sad.
DuckPlanetKing
You must be a thousand years old.
naytorin
So you're, what, 70?
369ItsAlwaysAGoodTime
Too bad they lost control of their party and then rejected reason for madness.
Seanspeed
They've been on this gradual decline towards this since Nixon. This was the inevitable result.
DrKriegersClone
You seem to be assuming this is an endpoint, not a step on the way to something even worse. I'm expecting a violent right-wing uprising 1/
